How To Break Up With Someone

Tips:

1. Be honest. Although breakups can be really hard on relationships, honesty will salvage any possible future friendship.
2. When you’ve realized that you are no longer interested in this person, let him/her know. Don’t drag out a pointless relationship.
3. Look at this like taking off a band-aid. Would you rather do it fast or slow? Which one hurts more?

How to Break up With Someone Using Style and Sensitivity

We all know breaking up is hard to do. But unless you’re Ross and Rachel, or some teen romance turned happily-ever-after, breakups are an unavoidable part of our lives. And while it’s up to you to decide what your individual breakup style is, if you want to avoid future bad relationship karma, you’ll adopt a few breakup basics.

I was idly browsing through some profiles the other day and it occurred to me that many girls (some guys as well), enjoy posting multiple pictures of themselves striking a similar pose, dressed in the same outfit and with the same background. I just find it kinda amusing and don’t really get the point. Its like if you browse through their album in the slide show view fast enough, it may have a slight resemblance to a C-grade animation clip. You know how animators did it the old fashion way? Drawing a character with slightly different postures on many sheets of paper and then flipping them through real fast? LOL. And if you flip the pages back and forth repeatedly, the character may even appear to be having a seizure or something. Hilarious.

However, profiles like these are still more interesting than many guys album (especially those who likes to post trillions of pictures of different cars owned by some other rich guy). Seriously, if I wanted to look at that, I could have browsed through all the different car catalogs on-line. They have better quality pictures too.

Yawn, anyway I am just blogging crap. If you are someone like that and you are reading this entry, no offense. Keep posting those pictures! Your fans are eagerly waiting for the next installment! Cheers.

If your Friendster nickname is BUBBLEGUMWAX and if your primary picture looks like this:  

Please DO NOT send me anymore messages. I have told you many, many times not to bother me and you have promised to stay away many, many times but after a few weeks/months, you will pop up with some weird message again! Are you really suffering from short-term memory or are you doing this on purpose to annoy me? Seriously, I have nothing against you but your messages are too weird for my liking and quite disturbing okay? So please for the good of god, STOP BOTHERING ME! Amen.

I am sick and tired of people messaging me in Friendster to ask if I am REALLY single and if I am joking about being single! What’s up with that? I mean, what is so bad about being single anyway? You guys make it sound like a disease or something. Come’on, not all girls are that desperate to get attached, I’d rather wait for the right one than to get myself involved with the wrong one. That would be a horrible mess (not to mention with lots of ‘heart-breaking-brawling-my-eyes-out sessions’)!

Anyway, Michelle Huang IS TRULY SINGLE. For now.

I want to thank all my friends and loved-ones who wished me a happy birthday. You guys are very sweet and made me feel special. I am thankful to have you all in my life and deeply appreciate your care for me.

To Mr. Wee Toon Keong & Mom:
Thank you for spending a delightful afternoon with me for lunch to celebrate my birthday. Although it was a simple celebration, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just spending time with the both of you gives me great joy. I also cherish the opportunity to have watched a movie in the cinema with you guys (especially with mom because god knows when that’ll happen again), although Mr. Wee kept whispering the plot ahead of the movie in my ear. Amusing it was but a tad irritating too. LOL. Just joking, you know I love ya! I hope that I’ll always get to celebrate my future birthdays with the both of you.

To Ms. Stella Koh aka Best Bud:
Thank you for sending me a SMS at an un-godly hour to wish me happy birthday, it proves that you’re really a good friend… I think… LOL. Anyway, I appreciate the gift that you got me, even though I don’t know what is it yet. I’ll get it from you one of these days. Your friendship is precious to me, although I’m used to giving you ‘tough-love’ from time to time. I hope that you do understand that by being frank with your faults is my way of showing care because I think that true friends should help each other see their mistakes and grow together to become better people. Thank you for being there for me.

To Mr. Ren Dai aka Ah Bird:
Thank you for the lovely pink purse you got me. I think it is gorgeous and I will take good care of it. Oh and not forgetting bringing me to Hooters for a satisfying dinner. I truly enjoyed watching the waitresses strut around in their tight shorts. Although we had a little argument during the earlier part of our meeting, I’m glad that we’ve both put it behind us. I treasure your love, care and concern for me and also your mom’s ang pow (remember to pass it to me ah…) LOL. Just want to let you know that I love you too.

To my family:
I love each and everyone of you to pieces. Hugz.

To the rest of my friends who wished me a happy birthday:
Thank you very much!

This is the best birthday ever, not because of all the presents and stuff but because I really felt loved…

Some day, when I’m awfully low,

When the world is cold,

I will feel a glow just thinking of you…

And the way you look tonight.

Mm,  Mm, Mm,  Mm,

Just the way you look to-night.

Recently I kept having evil, wicked, naughty thoughts… I don’t know why but I have to banish them!

Yesterday a friend drove me into JB to shop for some DVDs and suddenly in the mist of browsing through the many movie titles, a strong wave of deja vu hit me. It was like bits and pieces of my life were repeating itself in a sickening way. Like those weird dreams that occur once in a while.

I went through a bad breakup once that left me down and out but there was someone who helped me pick up the pieces. This was exactly what we did before: we hanged out, drove into JB and bought DVDs! Subsequently, we became an item and now that we are through, similar series of events are happening again. Sometimes I wonder if its them? Or me? Or just fate?

Only this time, I experienced the whole thing with an odd sense of detachment. Like I was merely a spectator, watching somebody else going through all this. Anyway, I have decided to snap out of it, life is too short to be detached. I have got to live in the moment and cherish every experience, be it good or bad. I’ll just try to stir clear of repeating anymore similar activities, it is too freaky for me.

又站在你家的门口　我们重复沉默
                  这样子单方面的守候　还能多久
                  终於你开口向我诉说她有多温柔
                  虽然你还握著我的手　但我已不在你心中
                  我真的懂　你不是喜新厌旧
                  是我没有　陪在你身边　当你寂寞时候
                  别再看著我　说著你爱过
                  别太伤痛　我不难过　这不算什么
                  只是为什么眼泪会流　我也不懂
                  就让我走　让我开始享受自由
                  回忆很多　你的影子也会充满我生活
                  我并不懦弱　你比谁都懂
                  虽然寂寞　这会是我　最后的宽容

抱紧我　再抱紧我
                    这一份感动　请你让我留在胸口
                    别在说是你的错　爱到了尽头
                    是非对错　就让它随风
                    忘了所有　过得比你快活
                    我真的懂　你不是喜新厌旧　是我没有
                    陪在你身边　当你寂寞时候
                    别再看著我　说著你爱过
                    别太伤痛　我不难过　这不算什么
                    只是为什么眼泪会流　我也不懂

不要再说　或许这是最好结果
                    现在分手　总好过你不爱我一拖再拖
                    分开你的手　离开你左右　我向前走
                    这会是我　真正的解脱

A friend of mine sent this email to me:

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she’s blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He’s always there

for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would
marry her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see

everything, including her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you
marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is
blind too, and refused to marry him.
Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her
saying. "Just take care of my eyes dear."

This is how human brain changes when the status changed.

Only few remember what life was before, and who’s always been there
even in the most painful situations.

After I read it, I kinda felt sad because I can totally relate to it. Not in a BGR kinda way, but it reminds me of how shabbily I sometimes treat those who love me the most, my parents. Think about it, after reading this story, I bet most of you would go: ‘Oh, I’ll never do that to someone so kind to me’ but more often than not, think of all the times we snapped at our parents, think the worse of them and deemed them old and useless? For those of you who are super good and filial kids, I am not talking about you, so don’t protest. Isn’t there a slight resemblance of how we sometimes treat our parents as compared to how this blind girl treated her boyfriend?

I have been through numerous painful breakups and hardships but the reason I am still kicking is because of my beloved parents. Can you imagine going through life’s hardships all alone? No matter how insignificant our parent’s effort may seem at the time, I am sure it contributed a lot to our sanity. Like how mom would knock on the door and say: Honey, dinner’s ready! I prepared all your favourites! or how dad would say: I fixed your desk/lamp/shower/chair/bed (the minute we complained about it). Sometimes I reflect back on the things that they have done for me and I get a little weepy because I am so grateful.

Mom and dad, I love you guys.
